LinkedIn tests a way for connections to verify your work history
LinkedIn is testing peer confirmation of work and education history plus company controls against employee impersonation.
LinkedIn is testing peer confirmation of shared work or education history, adding a verification badge after enough confirmations, with an opt-out. Verified Company Page admins can remove known impersonator accounts from search, and a pilot lets some companies require workplace verification before a profile is associated with their Page. Verified profiles can connect to partners including Truecaller, Adobe, TrustRadius, UserTesting, and PeerSpot, so Truecaller users can see LinkedIn verification on calls and messages.
- Verified members can confirm a connection's shared work or school history.
- Enough confirmations add a badge; members can opt out.
- Verified Company Page admins can hide known impersonators from search.
- A pilot can require workplace verification before linking a profile to a Page.
- Truecaller and other partners can display LinkedIn verification status.
